The Celestine Prophecy

So i just finished reading this and have some thoughts. i'm not one for too much spirituality like seeing people's positive energy fields glow and grow, i can understand that as a metaphor but not reality. there are a few concepts i can appreciate particularly:

- if you give positive energy you'll get positive energy from others in return
- there are no coincidences
- you encounter everyone in life for a reason and it's up to you to find out just what that reason is or it'll pass you by
- human conflicts are a result of a battle for energy, people wanting to take energy from others
- in matters of the heart, it's best to start from a place of friendship. otherwise it's easy to get carried away with 'love at first sight' which is great until the dust settles and one person expects the energy that should be reciprocal to just be given resulting in conflict.

while these aren't new concepts i appreciate them as guidelines to how we should treat each other and approach life. they make sense, no? think about it.The

Blast from the past! I read that book around ten years ago and believed nearly every word of it. That just shows how naive a 19 year old can be, I suppose. Seriously, I spent way too much time staring at plants in the hope that the blue aura would reveal itself to me.

Some of the ideas about energy still makes a lot of sense. I've known some folks who can suck the energy out of an entire party.
